PLANTATION -- After nearly doubling its customers since 1983, American Cablesystems is planning to expand its offices and service to west Broward cities.

Dan Olmetti, vice president of American, said the cable television company tentatively has targeted May 1 as an opening date for a second office in Plantation at 6781 W. Sunrise Blvd. American Cablesystems already has an office on University Drive in Plantation and its headquarters in Pompano Beach.

The new Plantation office plans to add service personnel and telephone extensions to give west Broward customers faster service, Olmetti said.

``We`ve grown so rapidly that our Pompano Beach office has no more room to expand,`` he said. ``With the growth that we`ve experienced, it makes sense to get a little closer to some of those people.``
